WEBVTT THE HUSKERS KICKED OFF SPRING PRACTICE YESTERDAY TO RAVE REVIEWS - BO PELINI PLEASED WITH THE START OF SPRING DRILLS WHICH INCLUDES ACTIVE COMPEITION ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL INCLUDING THE MOST IMPORTANT POSITION ON THE FIELDWITH MORE - HERE'S OUR BIG RED ZONE INSIDER SEAN CALLAHAN OF HUSKER ONLINE.COM WITH FOUR DOWNS FROM LINCOLN. ( Sean Callahan, " as Nebraska kicks off year 7 of Bo Pelini here in Lincoln I think one of the things obviously will be to watch the quarterback race when we got to watch practice number 1 here on Saturday obviously Tommy Armstrong has the leg up right now but guys like Johnny Stanton and Ryker Fyfe will get their opportunities to push him but I think Armstrong has some similar qualities to him that you want to see in a starting quarterback and he demonstrated a lot of that a year ago.Probably the most interesting wrinkle here on day 1 from Saturday was Jamal Turner once a QB recruit here at Nebraska a long time ago is back at quarterback now Turner did work some at receiver but Bo Pelini is letting the senior out of Texas try his hand at quarterback this spring I think the biggest thing he can bring to the table is just his ability to give them another option in the QB run game. Defensively when I look at Nebraska after practice one I think this group has come so far from a year ago nebraska really went through some growing pains all those first and second year players on the field in 2013 you see now the fruits of that labor a lot of those guys have gotten bigger and I think this defense could really be one of the best defensive units in the Big Ten and you just look at the players who are coming back especially on that front 7. And finally sticking with the linebacker position I think Ross Els and Bo Pelini are going to have some pretty tough positions this spring realistically there are 7 different guys that could all play and help out I thought Josh Banderas made some huge gains this offseason he's over 235 now and is really physical in high school he was a guy who played at about 220 so we have see guys like Banderas, Newby even Courtney Love they should come in the mix here and really shake things up with veterans like Michael Rose. In Lincoln with the Huskers, I am Sean Callahan of Husker Online.com for KETV Newswatch 7 Sports" ) THE HUSKERS GET BACK AT IT TOMORROW AFTERNOON - AND WILL PRACTICE A TOTAL OF 15 TIMES INCLUDING THE ANNUAL RED WHITE GAME SATURDAY, APRIL 12TH AT MEMORIAL STADIUM.
